B2 - Chapter 98

He rocketed toward them with a murderous look in his eyes. Most fights with something around his level ended quickly due to his overwhelming advantage in Strength, which was multiplied by his Qi. This was the first time that wasnt the case.

William delivered a brutal body blow to the already-damaged Flesh Puppets chestcaving it inbefore following the strike with another. This one blew a hole through the body, but the Flesh Puppet stared at him without emotion.

He saw its eyes gaining that red tint again, but he didnt stop his savage attacks. If destroying the area where its heart was located had no effect, he would go after the brain.

William snarled in anger at his ineffectiveness and used it to bring down his fist like a hammer on the Flesh Puppets head, crushing it flat into its shoulders.

He shifted his body rapidly to avoid the bite of the remaining Flesh Puppet before bringing his hand down on its neck in a slicing motion. He tried something that had been on his mind for a long time. The edge of his palm was lined with Healing Qi, but instead of avoiding the dangerous properties like he did when healing himself, he focused on it.

The Flesh Puppets head was cut cleanly off its body. The point of contact made it seem like a large sword did the work instead of his palm.

William glanced between the chopped-off head and his badly mangled hand. Using Healing Qi to kill workedas odd as that soundedbut there seemed to be a minor penalty to his health in return. Or maybe he was just too inexperienced to do it without receiving collateral damage.

He paused at the entrance to see if any Flesh Puppets would make a move. None did.

William clenched his fist before deciding to take the risk. If he was overwhelmed, retreat could be possible, and if that was somehow blocked off, the combination of [Force Multiplier] and the Elemental Gauntlet would be enough. Whatever happened after would be an issue for his future self.

He took steady steps onto the path in the garden with no reaction from the Flesh Puppets. They tracked him with their eyes but did nothing more. When they still did nothing after he was halfway through the path, he started to suspect he was being allowed entry by the corrupted avatar.

He wasnt sure what to feel about that.

William ignored the tempting spirit fruits and beckoning flowers, asking to be plucked, and focused only on his destination. He was greedy but not fool enough to try and take something from a garden such as this.

He reached the large door to the building without issue, the eyes of the Flesh Puppets still on his back. It opened for him the moment he stepped before it.

He stared into the well-lit entrance at the familiar figure smiling at him.

We finally meet face-to-face, the corrupted avatar smiled. A normal smile that still terrified him.

William wasnt sure if he should immediately go on the attack or first confirm if Kae was held inside. If he wasnt, waiting for him before acting would be wise.

Your friend told me you know Im an avatar. I find it curious that you still feel confident facing me with such hostility.

Seemed like he didnt need to wait. Kae was inside.

It might have had something to do with you wanting to take control of my body.

William didnt wait for her to reply and immediately activated [Force Multiplier]. With a roar, he lunged at the corrupted avatar, blazing fist aimed directly at her face.
